The old saying “crime doesn’t pay” is especially true for some suspects. These accused criminals inspired us to compile a list of the cases with the most outlandish circumstances and accusations. Our hope is all involved in these cases have a better 2016:

1. The man who “liked” his own mug shot on Facebook. Levi Charles Reardon, 23, “liked” his own mug shot on the Cascade County CrimeStoppers Facebook page in April. He was later arrested on multiple warrants. The news story, first reported by the Tribune, went viral. Reardon told the Tribune national media outlets contacted him for interviews about the Facebook post.

2. The alleged turkey leg thief.Travis Quentin Hurd, a state fair carnival worker, faces three criminal charges for allegedly stealing a tray of turkey legs and trashing a food vendor’s booth back in July. A responding Cascade County sheriff’s deputy reported that Hurd spontaneously told him he initially took food from the booth because he was hungry. Hurd later said during questioning that he entered the booth after he had been drinking, and he dumped the food on the floor because it was uncooked and he couldn’t eat it. Hurd was released from jail pending trial after arguing to have his bail reduced.

3. The alleged bank robber who went on a spending spree. Dwayne Ottey Jr. was arrested hours after allegedly robbing the downtown First Interstate Bank. Ottey reportedly used a pistol during the incident. He was later located along with $200 in cash, a safe and a backpack he had just purchased. Ottey’s landlord told investigators that Ottey paid the past-due rent that day using $100 bills. Court documents say Ottey paid for two Gatorades at the gas station down the street with a $100 bill.

4. The easily identifiable knife-wielding suspect. Wesley Crawford was arrested for allegedly threatening another man with a knife, telling the man “demons told me I should pluck out your eye.” Crawford was identified by the reported victim and law enforcement by the tattoos on his face. Crawford was allegedly assaulted at the Cascade County Detention Center by six men who now face criminal charges in connection to the incident.

5. The “sexy cop” on Halloween. While investigating a suspected drunken driver and with a Tribune reporter riding along, Great Falls Police Officer Eric Munkres finds the suspect, a 30-year-old female, passed out in her vehicle. As the woman stepped into the patrol car spotlights, patches were visible on her sleeves, along with the glint of silver handcuffs secured to her hip. This DUI suspect was dressed as a sexy cop. She was charged with a first-offense DUI.
